Unable to add reference to project

Hi,

I'm trying to add references to Syncfusion into existing Windows Universal App project. I have been trying by this approaches:
 - add nuget feed from url http://nuget.syncfusion.com/ - I'm able to see list of nuget packages, but when I try to download some of them, service responses with 404.
 - add local nuget feed from C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\13.4.0.53\Universal Windows\10.0\SDK but it seems there isn't any nuget packages.

How can I add references into Windows Universal App project?
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Comunity edition.
Thank for any advice

Hi Pavel,

Please find the responses for your queries.

Query :
add nuget feed from url http://nuget.syncfusion.com/ - I'm able to see list of nuget packages, but when I try to download some of them, service responses with 404.
add local nuget feed from C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\13.4.0.53\Universal Windows\10.0\SDK but it seems there isn't any nuget packages.

Response:
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We are able to reproduce the reported issues from our end while we installing the Syncfusion Universal Windows NuGet Packages from Syncfusion Private feed link and we are working on it.

We didn’t ship any of the Syncfusion NuGet Packages as your mentioned location by installer.

Instead of online Syncfusion private NuGet feed URL installation, we can install the Syncfusion NuGet Packages locally by downloaded the packages manually. Please refer the below link to configure the Syncfusion NuGet packages locally.

Query:
How can I add references into Windows Universal App project?

Response:
We can add references to either individual assemblies or entire SDK package into Universal Windows project as given below,

1.     Browse the following folder location in Add References dialog and select the required locally installed assemblies.
 
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\<$Version>\Assemblies for Universal Windows\10.0

2.     Choose the SDK package "Syncfusion controls for UWP XAML" from Universal windows => Extensions tab in Add references dialog as shown below,

           

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Thanks,
Abbas K

Hi Pavel,

Please find the response for your query.

Query : 
add nuget feed from url http://nuget.syncfusion.com/ - I'm able to see list of nuget packages, but when I try to download some of them, service responses with 404.


Response:
We suspect the issue occurs based on the NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio 2015. The projects that are using project.json file instead of packages.config to maintain the NuGet packages were faced this issue while restoring the NuGet Packages from custom NuGet feeds. Please find the following link to know more about this issue.

https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/1158


Instead of using the Syncfusion NuGet feed link, download the packages from here and configure it locally. Please refer to the following link to configure the downloaded Syncfusion NuGet Packages from locally.

Any idea when this will be solved?
This is also preventing our build process from getting the syncfusion nuget packages.

Hi Malcolm,   
   
As we had mentioned in in our last update, there is an issue with NuGet Package Manager which is not resolved yet.  Please refer to the issue details below.   
   
This issue may be fixed in the NuGet Manager 3.5 RC release.  But, there is a work-around to resolve this issue.
